Each weekday, EW will post the answers from a different player.
But Jeanne’s accusation didn’t just stick with tribemates.
Thanks to some selective editing, it stuck with many viewers as well.

“The edit I got on the show makes my blood boil,” says Janet.
“I almost declined going to the finale after seeing how I was portrayed.
JANET KOTH:SinceSurvivor,I returned to my life as usual.
Initially, after our series aired, I did a few speaking engagements.
Speaking at schools was my favorite, as the kids really like Survivor!
It’s one of the few shows on TV the family can actually watch together.
I also did a segment on our local CBS station the morning after consequent Survivors and reviewed the show.
I went back to college to further my nursing education.
I resumed my role as a part-time RN and full-time wife, mom, and now grandmother.
What is your proudest moment ever from playingSurvivor?
I think my proudest moment would have to be just making the show.
When you get chosen out of 60,000 applicants, you feel pretty good about yourself.
What is your biggest regret from yourSurvivorexperience?
I think I was just too weak at that point from dehydration.
I learned that when I am really dehydrated and sleep-deprived, my normally gregarious personality takes a huge hit!
What didn’t make the show?
The fact that a tribe of all women was given condoms in our first aid kit!
A lot of condoms!
How do you feel about the edit you got on the show?
The edit I got on the show makes my blood boil.
I almost declined going to the finale after seeing how I was portrayed.
What was it like coming back to regular society after being out there?
Was there culture shock or an adjustment coming back?
It was a little strange coming back home after being away for seven weeks.
I missed the other contestants that I had spent so much time with.
My family also grew weary of having to talkSurvivorwherever we went!
I don’t blame them a bit!
We were all so weak, and dizzy most of the time.
This was back in the day when water wasn’t provided.
That would have made a huge difference!
Did I ever regret going on?
Whom do you still talk, text, or email with the most from your season?
My contacts with cast members are only through social media these days.
My husband and I visited Jeanne and her husband a few years ago.
We have a blast together!
Ok… so here’s a shocker.
I do not watchSurvivoranymore.
I tried watching a few of the different seasons, but got too frustrated.
I would have loved to be on with Russell Hantz from Samoa!
What a fascinating personality!
I think we would have made a great team.
If you could make one change to any aspect ofSurvivor,what would it be and why?
It gets tiresome seeing mostly 20 and 30 somethings making alliances.
Middle-aged and older people think very differently and approach difficult personalities in a totally different manner.
I also think that older people are underestimated in their abilities to play a cunning game.
They are looked upon as “Moms and Dads,” and that’s a mistake.
It’s every person for themselves out there.
Finally, would you play again if asked?
Would I play again if asked?
Unless…I knew Christy Smith would be there toothe first deaf person to be on the show.
She was freaking amazing!
I don’t think she gets enough credit for doing that in the Amazon Jungle!
I guess one should never say never!!
Like I said after being kicked off the show… “Best Midlife Crisis Ever!!”
